I would like to know if i can use my web2go ($10.00) internet plan on the Samsung vibrant. I have this on my iphone and have done this on the nexus one, so any feedback would be great.

It doesnt work. Tested it already with the internet2.voicestream.com APN.

internet2.voicestream.com is working for me. gonna try changing my data plan from android to web2go tomorrow. Will update on my finding
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
That's not how it works.. once you change your data plan you won't have any data because your account isn't provisioned for use with Android anymore.
[Vibrant General] umarali:
it doesnt work...

i tried sim from my friend using nokia n900 with $10 plan, i changed apn to internet2.voicestream.com but it didnt work, keep taking me to page saying upgrade...

i also tried with the sim from friend using same plan in iphone, keep sending me to same upgrade page, that sux, because it works on nexus one, why not in samsung vibrant, they both have same android os and i changed apn too as directed for nexus one, dont understand why isnt it working...
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
It doesn't work because T-Mo has the IMEI numbers for the phones they sell. Ever notice how non-network phones don't show up in your profile? Because they can't tell what device you're using; hence, they can't charge you extra bull**** fees that discriminate against certain phones.

It sucks, and I had to lose my grandfathered internet plan because of how T-Mobile defines 'Internet'. When I signed up for that cheap internet plan, years ago, I was told that it was 'unlimited' and that I could 'visit any site'. But now, the definitions have changed. I hate it, but look at it this way:

If you're a preferred customer (loyalty customer, as they say), you can get your "Unlimited Internet" package for $20/mo. Retail stores can only get it down to $25, but CSRs can give you $20/mo. If you can do better, please let me know.

Plans are only going to cost more, with the rollout of tethering and faster networks. Look at AT&T for an example of where things are headed. Verizon is rumored to go next. Today is the most stressful time to think about new cell phones and plans. We're about to lose 'Unlimited' plans for good, and Sprint appears to be the only carrier concerned with having decently priced plans (so no competition). I figure: I'd rather be locked into a grandfathered internet plan that is better defined than Web2Go was, so when they raise the prices next year (or five years from now), I'll still be sittin' pretty.

That's how I rationalized going from my cheap internet bill to my $20/mo internet bill. I'm future-proofing my next phone, and avoiding overage charges.

[HD2 General] cowboyfarmer:
Ran into this. My phone had a *.51.* radio. Solved the boot problem by flashing a 2.10.50.x radio. I have a European HTC HD2. I read that with European HD2 you can flash either *.50.* or *.51.* radio. But with TMOUS HD2, you can only use *.50.*. If you flash *.51.* radio onto a TMOUS HD2, you will brick it for good.
[HD2 General] meegulthwarp:
I had the same problem. A radio update fixed it. you have to HSPL though. Any .50 radio above 2.08 should do the trick. I went with 2.08.50. Make sure you backup your phone before you do anything.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dallinzzz:
When roaming (Which is most of the time at home) my phone fails to send text messages. It just keeps trying to resend and is unable to send. I have my Data Roaming enabled (Data Roam Guard/sound are disabled) and I have always on mobile data. Under the "Roaming" setting I have it set to Automatic.

Also, something I experienced while at the Grand Canyon this weekend (Which I had full bars that were roaming) I was unable to make phone calls or use any data. I was however able to receive phone calls. My friend with a Hero that is also on the Sprint network was able to use his phone just fine. (Text/Calls/Etc)

Is there anything I can do to try and fix this issue? I rarely have no signal my only problem is that I lose a lot of functionality when roaming and this should not be the case.

I tried calling Sprint about the issue and they weren't very helpful. I'm going to try again tomorrow.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Go to Settings>System updates and update your profile and PRL. See if that helps at all.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dallinzzz:
I've done both PRL and Profile a few times. It doesn't do a thing with regards to that. Handcent just continually tries to send a text and repeatedly fails till I exit roaming the text then sends.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dallinzzz:
So I have tried doing one of those PRL hacks to use a Verizon tower and when I do that I'll get reception on the verizon towers. The only thing is at that point I can't send or receive messages or make calls. It seems to be an internal setting somewhere on my account with sprint.

[HD2 General] aceo07:
It also happens to me once in a while. It'll have full signal bars, but when I go to make the call, it'll update and tell me there's no signal and won't let me call. It even happens if I don't go to make a call. It's really frustrating since it won't get a signal again for a couple of minutes.

[HD2 General] Scott ISH:
Me too

I've been having very similar problems. Additionally, my 3G transfer rate seems to cap out at around 2 Mbps, despite living in an area that supposedly has HSPA+ data (Rochester, New York).

I'm using the stock T-Mobile ROM (the updated one), version 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE. ROM date 4/28/10

Radio version is 2.10.50.26.

I've been hesitant to flash an unofficial ROM or a new radio because I don't want to void my warranty before I've ruled out the possibility of a hardware flaw. I initiated a trouble ticket with T-Mobile smartphone support late last week, but haven't heard anything back yet.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if I can provide any more info.
[HD2 General] maxpower097:
I'd like locations too. I haven't had so much as a hick up on my HD2 in over a month. No dropped calls, no connection issues. Etc.... I'm curious if this is happening in certain locations and may be a tower issue over a phone issue. People usually fail to realize your phone really only represents about 20% of your phone quality. Tower location, landmarks, buldings, rain, humitdity, cement walls, etc... all have effects on your signal. When I had the stock HD2 rom installed I would get calls breaking up in my apt. But I could just open the door and go outside and it cleared right up. Now since running Kumars rom I seem to get great reception anywhere I go. Remember TMO's working on their HDSPDA thingy all over the country. They have taken down our 3G network about 6 times this last week for a couple hours at a time. But now I get way way way more (H)'s then (3G)'s now. ALso what are your data speeds? I get 3MB/0.88MB If your getting way less then that their may be somethign wrong with the network or your settings. I've seen as high as 5.5/1.5 out in LA.

[HD2 General] countitalljoy:
Have u tried looking into ur task manager and viewing which tasks r running (end all tasks)? I was having the same problems and I just could not figure what was going on and I have talked with others and they asked me about consistently ending my tasks as much as possible, which could slow down ur phone. Well, I noticed that everytime I would go and view my task manager that my phone was in active sync (I believe has to do with my email accounts bc they r constantly syncing no matter if I had put to check every 1 hr/2hr/30min so...what I did was disable all of my email accounts and what do u know...my phone hasn't been syncing out of the blue and causing drop calls PERIOD! Now, there is a difference between Active Sync and Windows Sync PC, however, Windows Sync is only when ur USB is plugged into ur PC. Well, I hope this help some...!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffrey92:
Ok so I have a G1 that I have been using as my phone for data, calling, texting, etc. It is on a contract family plan.

I recently bought an HD2 and I put my sim in it, and only the calling works. The data bars show up, but I can't actually connect to the network.

I called TMO and they basically they said they have 4 data plans, android, smartphone, blackberry, and 1 other but whatever. Now... the HD2, with winMO, falls under the smartphone category, which is $25 a month for data. But... I have already experimented with putting Android on it and I think I'll probably want to leave android on in the future.

IF I switch my plan to "smartphone" (as it is currently on android), I will keep my plan at $25 a month, but lose my grandfathered android plan. Thus if I am ever to go back to an android phone, I would be losing... going up to 30/month.

But then its more confusing... is the HD2 running android actually an android? Data didnt seem to work on the 2.2 shell I was using... but maybe its just not working yet. I'll try the 2.1 I suppose...

WTF AM I SUPPOSED TO DO!?

eventually i'll switch to att or something that isnt so damn confusing

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watcher64:
Also you should price out just switching to a completely unlimited plan for instance, it was going to cost me $30 for the data plan, but only an increase of $35 to switch all the phones on my plan to the Unlimited Talk/text/web plan, so that was a no-brainer ....

I think their 4th plan btw is business VPN
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesplice:
Howdy.

I find that there are two keyboards that I use most - swype and the HTC_IME mod keyboard. I use swype exclusively in the portrait orientation as it is optimized for one-handed use and use the HTC keyboard in landscape as it functions better than swype when using two thumbs. So anytime I feel the need to compose a message using a different orientation, I have to change keyboards.

Coming from the winmo world, I had found an app that would do something automatically choose the input method based on the state of the hardware keyboard... Is there anything for android that might provide the ability to automatically set the input method based on the orientation of the device?

Just something I think would be handy, and that I haven't found during a brief search here and across google land.

Thanks,

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaximReapage:
I sincerely doubt anything like this exists. You may consider putting up a request in the Android Development section of this (Nexus One) board.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codesplice:
Upon thinking about this a bit more now that I'm awake, I'm not even sure such a feat is possible... since you have to manually choose the input method anytime you install a new keyboard. There's no way (that I've seen so far) to just tick a "use as default" box within a keyboard's preferences and have that work; seems the user must always manually select to use the keyboard. That kind of makes me think that the keyboard apps (or apps in general) don't have the permissions necessary to access this setting.... though I would also think that a root-level app would be able to do so.

Thoughts?

Hey im looking for the vanilla browser thats used on the nexus one and the moto droid. I dont like the htc stock browser. Right now im using kaosfroyo v23 and the only reason im really staying on this rom instead of moving to another one is because it has the vanilla browser. so if someone can get me the .apk i could just install it over any other rom right?

This will probably be the first phone I'd be willing to try and build a kernel for, lol. I'm sure we'd have a vanilla build of Android 2.1 (probably a bit broken) already IF we had the kernel source, 1.6 and 2.1 run the same kernel version 2.6.29 (froyo is 2.6.32 so it might actually take a bit more effort). This also explains why they show a 2.1 build even though they've committed to go straight to 2.2.

Kernel source for Dell Streak?

Hi,

I was wondering whether the android kernel uses some kind of standardized kernel versions and configurations that allow people to add a module to an existing kernel in, let's say a dell streak tablet/smartphone.

Is it easy to get the kernel configuration and patches to compile modules for the streak? :confused:

Do they put some kind of locking so that nobody having a jtag tool can make the configuration changes to make the kernel read a new module?

(technically I think this is known as not succeeding :D)
[Streak 5 Android Development] jsmanrique:
Building != Booting

So we have same situation... It's not a matter of building a kernel but booting it right on the device.

But what would be failing? Has anybody seen any log about what is happenning during boot to know what is failing? Because I would understand that a valid kernel would boot the device but some parts that would need propietary code wouldn't work (for example wifi, or whatever)... but no boot at all is quite strange.
